Advocates submit memorandum to K'taka Gov
Bangalore | Wednesday, Nov 18 2009 IST
 

Members of a newly-formed group of lawyers --'Advocates for Self Respect'--today submitted a memorandum to Karnataka Governor H R Bhardwaj seeking action against advocates responsible for ''vandalism'' in the High Court premises on November nine during a protest against Chief Justice P D Dinakaran who was facing land-grabbing charges.

The memorandum condemned the incidents and urged the Governor to use his office to bring the culprits to book, Senior Advocate Ravivarma Kumar said.

Earlier, the members sat on a day-long dharna covering their mouth with black cloth at Mahatma Gandhi Statue in the city.

The memorandum demanded accountability for the incidents while expressing shock, he said.

Chief Justice Dinakaran was jostled and two judges locked up in the court hall during the protest by Advocates Association of Bangalore against the Chief Justice continuing to preside over the proceedings.
